@YahooSportsDaniil Medvedev issued an apology after hitting a spectator in the face with a tennis ball during a moment of frustration in his match with Novak Djokovic at the ATP China Open. Medvedev was disqualified from the match and forced to forfeit the ATP points he accumulated on his run to the tournament semifinals.1h
@arthurmrieMedvedev just got defaulted in the Beijing semis. Djokovic led 7-5, 5-3. Medvedev lost the point, swiped at the ball in frustration, and it hit a fan in the front row. The default was instant. He loses his Beijing points and prize money too. Djokovic knows that feeling. Same thing at the 2020 US Open. After the match he said he feels sorry for Daniil. Novak is now 33-0 at the China Open. Final vs de Minaur tomorrow. Right call, or too harsh?1h
